Cuellar says DC ‘more dangerous’ than his Texas district after carjacking
The Hill ^ | 10/04/2023 | NICK ROBERTSON

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said Washington, D.C., is “two or three times more dangerous” than his border district in Texas, a day after he was a victim of carjacking in the District on Monday.

In a Fox News interview Tuesday, Cuellar used the issue of crime to discuss the need to support law enforcement and border security.

“I’ve always said when I talk about the border, that there is an immigration crisis there. But I would say that when you look at the numbers of murders, rape, assaults at the border — let’s say in Laredo, Texas — I’ve always said that Washington is about two or three times more dangerous, and we certainly see it now,” Cuellar said.

This isn’t an either/or proposition. Both/and.

An interesting comparison between the "seat of federal power" and where so many of the federal folks live (listed by size of percentage -- 2020 ) and Cuellar's district.... "Black" is highlighted, so that any who wish to accuse with the term, racism, will note "race."
Demographics of Washington, D.C.

Black or African American alone - 40.91%
White alone (NH) - 37.96%
Hispanic or Latino (any race) - 11.26%
Asian alone (NH) - 4.81% etc.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Washington,_D.C.

Demographics of Fairfax County, Virginia

White alone (NH) - 47.12%
Asian alone (NH) - 20.33%
Hispanic or Latino (any race) - 17.32%
Black or African American alone (NH) - 9.42%

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairfax_County,_Virginia

Demographics of Henry Cuellar's (Texas's) 28th congressional district

78.5% -- Hispanic
15.09% -- White
4.02% -- Black
1.43% -- Asian

Look's like Cuellar's observed something, which basic demographics also observes. The question isn't "black" per se, but Democrat-led black-tinged inner city politics. Wowser, Bowser. Defund the police! Reduce bail and penalties. Free the criminals. Yeah, that's the ticket.

In Cuellar’s home district, anyone who wishes to be armed is armed. More guns, less crime (outside of illegal entry or presence, that is). In DC almost no one is armed except the criminals and the “connected”.

DC population after business hours is VERY DARK complected. Not to notice or anything, but statistics do not lie. Civilizations follow demography, and you can’t point to a majority Negroid populated country that is civilized in any manner.

I hear they are sending in Kenyans to civilize Haiti...what a joke.

“Bottom line: With the engineered collapse of the criminal justice system, Democratic run urban America is unlivable. Cuellar should be held accountable for his political malfeance against the American people.”

THIS!
